Printing Txt file from java code

[D boss]

Hi ppl,

i am trying print a txt file from within my java code, here is the code i have done so far
but i am getting some runtime errors,

also i am trying to keep the coding to a minimum...any help would be appreciated,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package AddRFSwitchPac;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Printing {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String filename = ("D:/report"); // THIS IS THE FILE I WANT TO PRINT
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE; // MY FILE IS .txt TYPE
PrintService printService[] =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
PrintService defaultService =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,
printService, defaultService, flavor, pras);
if (service != null) {
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
}
System.exit(0);
}
}

You are getting the error because you defined the class to be in the "AddRFSwitchPac" and you are trying to run it with "java Printing". Use "java AddRFSwitchPac.Printing" instead. That is assuming you have the Printing class in a folder named "AddRFSwitchPac" and that you are trying to run it from the directory above "AddRFSwitchPac".
